Mice () were orally given composition SAL at doses of 300 mg/kg at −48 hr, −24 hr, and −2 hr before APAP administrations and +6 hr after induction of model suspended in 10% Tween-20. Hepatotoxicity models were induced using 400 mg/kg APAP administered orally. Serum was collected at T24. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. .
